Another explosive end has emerged out of the Garden State.
Bridgewater-Raritan's (N.J.) Chris Carter, a 6-4, 240-pound edge rusher, was recently invited to partake in
an unofficial visit to Rutgers after a season in which he posted 45 tackles, five-and-a-half sacks, three caused fumbles, two recoveries, a safety and a defensive touchdown.

"Recruiting is
going pretty good," Carter said. "I was just invited to Rutgers for an
unofficial visit in March."

A handful of
schools outside of Carter's home state have also began the recruiting process
with the star defender. His build and ability to find the football have piqued
the interest of some highly-respected BCS-level programs.

"Maryland,
Temple and Georgia have been showing a lot of interest," said Carter. "I have
been getting a lot of mail from Boston College, but I haven't spoken to anyone from
the school yet."

Staff members of the Georgia Bulldogs even thought enough of Carter to visit his high school and inquire about him, last December.

Offensively, the first-team Mid-State 38 All-Conference
selection caught seven passes for 125 receiving yards and three touchdowns from
the tight end position. He is currently being recruited from both sides of the football.

Rutgers is thought to be in good position with Carter, who told NJ.com he feels the Scarlet Knights are a constantly improving program that is also close to home.

"I like (Rutgers) because they are close by and they seem like a great school. I can't wait to check out their campus and meet the coaches."
